    It appears to have been a sleeper pulling the container. Both it's driver and "passenger" were killed. The driver of a passenger car has been charged with OUI.

    "State Police say the accident occurred shortly after 6 a.m. this morning after Torres stopped her Dodge Caliber SUV on the right shoulder of the northbound lanes of I-95 between exits 9 and 10.

    According to Trooper Matthew Satkowski, who spoke with reporters at the scene, Torres then drove into the right lane and struck a tractor-trailer traveling in that lane. Satkowski said the SUV then swerved left, struck the center median, and then was "t-boned" by the truck.

    The cab of the truck's tractor burst into flames, incinerating its two occupants."

    I believe that anyone who drives drunk & kills someone should be charged with murder. Getting behind the wheel drunk well they know what they are doing & it's totally careless behavior.
